On the road to becoming a superstar and realizing your dream, stars fall prey to things around them. Each celebrity has to go through their fair share of extravagance after they become a superstar and earn loads of money. Surprisingly, the undisputed UFC fighter never fell prey to anything throughout his career.

The hardcore religious fighter follower stayed grounded.

The 55-year-old pointed out “Khabib’s the perfect example” to never succumb to the dark side of success.

“The guy drives a Toyota!” despite being able to afford luxury cars like a Lamborghini.

“He’s worth f*cking millions of dollars,” exclaimed Rogan.

Despite him attaining the top status in one of the most sought sports in the world, the Dagestani fighter always stayed true to his path. Proving to the world that it’s a discipline that ultimately succeeds over extravagance.

Joe Rogan claimed, “he (Khabib Nurmagomedov) is as calm and as humble as can be, while also being incredibly confident…”

“… and super religious” about the former lightweight champion.

His guest compared the 34-year-old fighter to Samuel L. Jackson’s character, ‘Jules Winnfield’, from the 1994 film, ‘Pulp Fiction’. Because, in the film, Jackson played a man who was religious and often quoted from the bible.

The stand-up comedian retorted “it’s greater because it’s not fake!” and claimed Nurmagomedov was a true fighter and did not just put on a show for the cameras.

The fitness enthusiast was bang-on in assessing the greatness of the undefeated lightweight fighter and regarded him as the top fighter in the entire sport.
